Default How many of you use Meth?

Hey Hey no junkies in here either! How many of you LT1 folks use meth injection. I'm looking at kits now and appreciate any pics/info about the LT1 meth kits.

don't you know people wake up dead from **** like that?

just kidding man.
i don't know of too many people that use methanol injection. if you're looking for something down that route, in myt opinion it would be hard to walk away from good old nitrous. there's so much tech help already out there and parts are everywhere. looking at your signature, about a 100 shot through that procharger would most likely wake things up a little

Yeah... if you are looking for a good way to cool your intake charge without making life harder on your motor (like nitrous would) i would go with a good water/meth injection. I personaly have no used it, but that gains that canbe seen from a simple meth kit are incredible... and you can run a decent amount more boost on meth.

not sure what effect it would have on the pump and injectors. i'm sure it would run lean considering the burn rate. i've heard converting to methanol on a carb. car is worth around 30hp. and it tends to run around 20 degrees cooler and also burns cleaner. their is a highly oxegen enriched racing fuel that i've heard claims of 12hp over reg. racing fuel. kinda expensive tho. had a friend run it in his hybusa and saw an improvement. i dont think you would want to run nitrous with it tho.

Can meth AND nitrous be injected or do you have to choose one or the other?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but methanol injection would only be beneficial on a boosted motor and have no effect on an NA vehicle, correct? Just wondering?

Is something like this even worth it for a bolt on Lt1?
